Frustration, pressure and potential change mount for Oilers as team sputters toward playoffs
Through 71 games, the Edmonton Oilers haven’t found much consistency. They’ve won three games in a row once, and they’ve yet to win four. Last season, they had nine winning streaks of three or more games, winning 3, 3, 5, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3 and 3. Winning often keeps morale high and frustration low,…
Have the Oilers become a ‘one-pair team’ on defence?
For the fourth year in a row, the Edmonton Oilers’ top defensive pair, featuring Mattias Ekholm and Evan Bouchard, has been a dominant force. Since the Olympic break, the Oilers are plus-six in goals and plus-17 in shots when at least one of them is on the ice at five-on-five. They’ve even outscored the opposition…
